The important question for me: Is this new tray made to fit in the original box? Because if not, I'm not sure how helpful it will really be (even as cool as it is).

The tray comes with Be not afraid... which is boxed unlike the previous expansions. So you'll wind up with two boxes but all tokens will now be nicely stored.

I was under the same impression as the OP and I'm a little disappointed. I'm not going to dig the thread now, but I think someone at DoW (maybe Eric Hautemont himself) had mentioned that the tray would hold all the race tokens from the base game and expansions. It's very nice that we will be able to store everything in a proper box and tray, but I was expecting a single tray for race tokens only, to be used during the game. Well, maybe when they release a collector's edition...

Yes - if it's a storage tray w/ lid (which I'm sure this implies) that's great. I guess I don't mind an extra/separate container. But I'd buy the expansion for the races/powers anyway. The tray's icing.

I never really cared for the original tray and since this one won't make everything fit in the main box, I really don't care.

What I do care about is trying to decipher what that power in the tray picture does... I believe it is "Corrupt" and sounds/looks like another negative type power similar to "Cursed". Looks like it will add 4 tokens to the race (or possibly 1, hard to tell with it cutoff like it is).

I just decided to toss the original plastic organizer and both the old counter tray and the new counter tray (with lids) barely fit on the bottom of the box (I'd like to think they planned it that way). Then I used the race/power slots in the new tray for money, and put everything else in baggies.

I use a Plano box for the base game, then the new tray for all the expansions. It works out well, because I can bring the base game in the original box and leave the expansion tray behind if I don't feel like using them.
